I agree the site needs updated.
Still, there have been several key improvements since 0.2.6:
- qemu's user-net ne2000 works right from the bootcd
- win32k has had some work, making at least second stage installer
more responsive
- rbuild has been successfully merged
- all the other crap that we have fixed
Major fixes to old hacks. Improvements to ntoskrnl.
OTOH,
- networking has regressed in some areas
- all the other crap we have regressed or broken
Yes three steps forward and two steps back.
There is alot of talk of our "users", but I don't think we have a good idea of who they really are, at this point in time.
Haven't you ever updated a piece of software just because it was newer? I can't remember the last time I updated my linux kernel other than it has just been released. Can't we just go back in the late 15xxx revs, pick a release that builds and generally works and run it though the release process?
We are so far along, I could be almost tempted to wait for 0.3.0 after the current header work, if we could get a focused effort on networking after it's done. It would need to be a release soon though, I remember telling people in IRC late last year that 0.3.0 was going to be at the end of the year. What about those "users"?
You guys are doing a kickass job as always, WD
